"I bought this on recommendation from one of the sales associates, as I was looking for a lotion to use on my 3yr old who is plagued with eczema that is so itchy and painful she cries when I would put other lotions on. As promised, this did not sting her eczema, and it instantly soothes her skin so she doesn't itch all through bedtime stories. She loves the smell (so do I), and now we have a nice night time ritual to look forward too. I've also used it and it's instantly calmed redness I didn't even realize I had! It's made me realize I should be using Lush products a lot more! But honestly, I couldn't speak more highly of this product, it really has been a miracle for my daughter where other creams, even prescription ones, weren't helping and would hurt to use. THANK YOU LUSH!!

Dream Cream is packed with gentle, nourishing ingredients, and a lot of our customers turn to it to help soothe the skin and provide a bit of relief for the symptoms of various skin conditions. However, Dream Cream is not designed to treat the conditions themselves, so if you have any doubts about using this product, it's best to check with your physician to make sure it's right for you!

It won't cure your ailments but it won't worsen them either (that's if you're not allergic to anything). I have psoriasis and keratosis pilaris. This cream is light and soothing to the skin. It's not heavy like Ceravae or Aquaphor but it's kept in moisture and worked well with my steroid creams. On good days, without a break out, this cream kept my skin calm and did not agitate it in any way. It's a good medium and moisturizer to go along with any treatment plans you have.

Q:

Is this product too heavy to use on dry skin without a special condition(eczema)? or should i use another type of body lotion intended for dry skin?

has anybody with keratosis pilaris tried this and experienced positive results? I read a review on the potion lotion of its positive effects on this bumpy skin condition due to dryness and was wondering if this would work better

I have keratosis pilaris (on my upper arms), and I have tried Potion Lotion as well as Dream Cream. I found Dream Cream to work much better for me, and to actually WORK, at all... I've tried everything my dermatologist recommended for my KP, but nothing helped at all, until Dream Cream. It's not too heavy and greasy, but it's conditioning and moisturizing enough and doesn't leave skin dry. It also has anti-bacterial, anti-yeast, and anti-fungal properties which help to keep skin clean. I use mine right after a shower, and it has decreased my KP by about 30-40%.

Other customers using Dream Cream have had great success improving their KP. This cream helps slough off skin cells which are contributors to KP. KP is also often associated with eczema, and a lot of people with this condition rave about the positive results after using Dream Cream. The physical action of applying this lotion on the affected areas should also work to improve it.

Hello! I can tell you that I noticed a difference by using the Dream Cream. It wasn't gone completely, but it was noticeably better. However, I have not tried the Potion Lotion! If you're able to get a sample of the Dream Cream from a store near you I would give it a go. Some people don't enjoy the scent, but I adore it!Sent from my iPhone

I do not have the condition specifically, though I have something similar on my thighs - especially in the winter months. What the Dream Cream is great for is locking in moisture. I use it after bathing and find that my skin stays moist all day - not at all greasy. This moistness allows for better exfoliation of the skin on my thighs and helps clear the skin. It takes a few weeks, but is so worth the wait. I can only imagine that it would help your keratosis pilaris. I have used the Dream Cream for nearly 6 years. I LOVE it - I've found nothing that even remotely compares!

Q:

Is it safe to use this product on new tattoos? (usually creams that are unscented work best) would this be considered an unscented product?

Dream Cream definitely does have a scent to it, as it is made with a collection of beautifully fragrant oils. As for use on new tattoos, we definitely recommend asking your tattoo artist, as he/she will know best! We list all of the ingredients both on the product itself, as well as online and in stores for reference.

I have a tattoo and I've used it on it , doesn't seem to bother my skin. Itdefinetly has a slight smell wouldn't say it's unscented it's made with oatmilk so to me it smells kinda like that kinda earthy but in a nice way. :)hope this helped

You can, but it feels a little heavy (because it was made for your body). A facial moisturizer would be better because it's lighter. I put dream cream on my face right after the shower because I ran out of moisturizer (my face is REALLY dry right after a shower) and it definitely helped it.

A:

We do not recommend that you use Dream Cream Body Cream on your face, only on the intended body parts. A moisturizer designed for the fine pores of the face would be a better option.

I've used Dream Cream on my face before and did not have any reaction to it. The ingredients are gentle! However, I only use it sparingly and rarely, like when I get a sunburn on my cheeks. For regular use I recommend using one of Lush's facial moisturizers! They are made for daily, facial use and are some of my favorite ever products from Lush!Sent from my iPhone

Q:

Has this caused anyone's eczema to get worse/flare up? I suddenly had an eczema flare up around the time I started using this, and I'm not sure if it's random, or if it's related to the product. Has anyone had this problem?

This isn't something that we have heard before, however, everyone's skin is different and what works for one may not work for another. We definitely recommend consulting with your dermatologist to see what is best for you, and we list all of the ingredients on the product, on our website, and in stores for you to consult!

Answered on 10/4/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:

I was given a small sample of this about a month ago and for me, it most definitely helped my eczema and also my psoriasis. I've heard from my dermatologist that people with these conditions sometimes have to treat them with different products because everyone has different things that trigger flare ups. So for you it may be related to the cream and what's in it. Best bet, if you have a derm doctor, find out if any of the ingredients could cause a flare up for you.

The Dream Cream is great for skin conditions, but because arthritis is a joint issue, finding something a bit more stimulating, that can penetrate a bit deeper, might be a better option. Call us at 1-888-733-5874, or send us an email at products@lush.com and we would be happy to make some suggestions!

Q:

I have a couple of dry itchy patches on my face. Should I use Dream Cream on my face?

As for Dream Cream, it's best used only for its intended purpose on the body and hands. For dryness and itchiness on the face, a moisturizer designed for the fine pores of the facial area would be a better option. I'd recommend the Skin Drink or the Skin's Shangri-La for very dry itchy patches on the face.

I would definitely give it shot if nothing else is working for you. If you're like my son, I took him to doctors and dermatologists that gave us a little of this and little of that, but nothing seemed to work. Sure enough this did the trick.

A:

Yes! I have recently developed a dry flaky patch of skin on my hairline by my ear/temple area. At first I thought I'd have to go to my dermatologist for a medical fix, but thought I'd try stuff at home first. I smoothed a little Dream Cream on the patch right before bed and within 3 days, it was gone. I noticed improvement just the next morning, but it was completely cleared up after 3 days. No problems since!

A:

I have a mixture of dry and oily skin around the t-zone on my face. I would avoid any areas that you don't want to look oily since Dream Cream has a bit of an oily feel to it, but it does help clear up the dryness when used wherever!

A:

I get those sorts of patches all the time, and I wouldn't recommend using dream cream for this, as it can sometimes sting those patches is the patches are sort of hurting already. I would say to try Celestial face lotion by Lush, which works great for me!

Answered on 5/16/2012 by Allison from Charlotte, NC

Q:

Is it possible for this product to make me break out? I used this on my whole body for months and I loved it because it made my skin so soft and almost completely cleared up my skin condition. But now I am breaking out a lot lately on my face, shoulders, and back. The more I use it, the more acne I get. Is there something in the product that could cause acne? Is there another product that does the same job as this product without the acne causing ingredients?

I am sorry to hear that the Dream Cream was not the one for you! I know that it works really well for lots of people, but everyone is different, and it may just be that the cream was too heavy for your skin. I personally found that our Retro product Skin Sin was a great option for a lighter body cream. It contains almond oil, which absorbs easily into the skin, and then soothing chamomile and balancing lavender, too. I would recommend looking for a moisturizer designed for your facial skin to use on your face, though, as the skin on your face is thinner and the pores are finer. Best of luck finding a cream that works better for you!

Im an Indian with an wheatish complexion i have dark spots,ichy and tanned skin. will this Dream Cream help solve my problem.Thankyou

Due to each person's skin uniqueness, consider trying this cream, the natural ingredients and low amount of processing make it beneficial for most any type of skin, oat milk and lavender are especially soothing to skin.

The Dream Cream is great for use on hand and body, but we do not recommend using the Dream Cream on the facial skin. It's best to use a facial moisturizer for this purpose. For body- Dream Cream is fantastic for soothing itching and irritation as it contains lots of soothing oils like lavender, chamomile and rose, as well as calming oats.

Q:

Is it true that Lush has changed the ingredients and that the Dream Cream is now different? I would want to buy this for my sister who has terrible exema (sp.). People said it was good for that. But then there is the review from the person who says it is no longer the same and does not work for the exema anymore... Please be honest!Thanks!

The formula for Lush Dream Cream hasn't been changed. What is likely is that the Dream Cream was old. Due to the fact that a lot of the ingredients used by Lush have a shorter shelf life, they can go bad causing the texture of the moisturizer to change. Just be sure to check the use by date on the Dream Cream when you buy it for your sister.

Answered on 2/2/2012 by Community Answer from None

A:

The Dream Cream formula has not changed. In the summer when it's hot out, the texture can seem a bit thinner from the heat, however all its made the same way it always has been and contains all the same gorgeous ingredients.

As long as the child hasn't shown any allergies or had any irritations from this product or any ingredients in it, it should be fine for use as long as a parent or adult supervises to make sure they don't consume the cream.

A:

I don't expect there should be any problems with this, however I'd recommend verifying with your pediatrician to be completely sure it would be suitable for your kids.

We have had lots of pregnant women fall in love with the Dream Cream during their pregnancies, because of how soothing and healing it is on the skin, but we would always recommend checking with your health care provider before using products during pregnancies. Although we use essential oils in relatively low quantities, some health care providers recommend avoiding certain ingredients or essential oils throughout pregnancy. Check in with yours, and see what they recommend (you can always print out a copy of the ingredients and bring it in with you to an appointment).
